Blush has become a staple in the beauty routines of Pakistani women. It adds a bit of colour to the face, tying in the lips and eyes. Blush is easily one of my favourite makeup products — I use it to add some colour back to my face, especially since it can look a little flat after foundation.

Enter Klasyk Beauty, who sent us their liquid blushes to try. Named “The Blush” to avoid confusion, this liquid blush comes in three colours: My Peachy Weapon, Coral Spell, and I Slayed Barbie. They retail for Rs1,250 each and are currently on sale for Rs1,000 on their website.

The packaging of the product blew me away — it looked like a squeezable tube but was actually made of an acrylic-like plastic with a wand to dispense the product.

The blush claimed to be easy to blend, have a high pigment, and a long-wearing formula. So I put it to the test.

I received the shades My Peachy Weapon and Coral Spell, both of which are warm in tone, which isn’t my usual go-to, I’m more of a pink blush person. However, having recently switched to liquid blushes, I was still quite excited to try these out.

From the first time I tried the product, I was impressed with how pigmented it was. Just one dot on each cheek was enough, in fact, I managed to blend the product onto my nose as well. I had an inkling that a little would go a long way, so I applied it with my fingers before adding concealer. This way I could use my concealer to contain the blush and blend it into the rest of my makeup.

I highly suggest you use this product before concealer and definitely before powder for the most seamless finish. Their claim of a weightless formula is also true — it didn’t feel like I had an additional liquid product on my skin.

While powder blush usually disappears before the end of the workday, I noticed this liquid blush did not. I still had a flush of colour despite my oily skin, which I tend to dab at with oil-blotting sheets. I was really impressed with the lasting power of this blush.

I also tried using the peach blush as a colour corrector, and it worked! While the product does not claim to be a colour corrector, I found it worked on the areas of darkness around my mouth and under my eyes. It’s also important to note that I have slight discolouration and very pale skin, so this might not work for everyone.

I found that at Rs1,250, the price was steep, however, since you barely need a dot or two, it will last a long time. The colour range worked on my skin, but it might not work as well on deeper skin tones.

Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆

I’ll rate this product 4 out of 5 stars for longevity, pigment, packaging, and working as a colour corrector on my skin. I’ve knocked off one point for price and limited shade range.
